About Me

Hello. My name is Abigail, and I am a native English speaker from the beautiful island of Jamaica. I coach adult learners who want to improve their English skills while having fun. I have multiple certifications in teaching English as a foreign and second language and specialize in TOEFL exam preparation where I have helped students gain an average of 86% and over.
I enjoy listening to different music genres, writing poetry, and watching Asian shows! :)Me as a Teacher
I possess patience, kindness, and understanding. From the start, I will assess your level, do a needs analysis to determine your goals for learning English, and help you reach them one step at a time. I will personalize each lesson to meet your learning needs, style, and interests. Also, I am down-to-earth, which will make you feel comfortable in my lessons.
I have over 18 years of experience in the BPO industry, 1 year in insurance, and occasionally volunteer at a school. Therefore, I can help you achieve your goals
I engage in consistent professional development to stay current with information, and teaching methodologies to grow as a teacher. My lessons & teaching style
I use a conversational approach to provide engaging, spontaneous, and fun lessons that allow students to maximize speaking. I am passionate about helping students reach their full potential by integrating reading, listening, speaking, and writing activities.
My teaching styles are drilling, miming, demonstrating, and using images to elicit language from learners.
I use materials such as:

Test templates and examples
Text Documents

Articles and news
